This study provides an analysis of the ancient evidence and the modern scholarship on Quodvultdeus, the bishop of Carthage who was exiled by the Vandals in AD439. Focusing on the “Liber Promissionum et Praedictorum Dei” (“Book of the Promises and Predictions of God”, Dr Van Slyke highlights Quodvultdeus’ apocalyptic preoccupations, and sets forth the unique contours of the bishop’s theology through a detailed analysis of how he selectively appropriates the eschatological thought of previous Christian authors such as Jerome and Orosius. Particular attention is paid to Augustine’s influence on Quodvultdeus in order to draw out the considerable independence of the latter’s thought.
